Sebastian Lletget, a Major League Soccer forward for FC Dallas, admitted on Monday he had a miscarriage of justice but claimed he was the victim of a “blackmail plot” amid rumors he had his fiancée Becky G after Just cheated on their engagement for three months.
Lletget was accused last week of cheating on the singer in 2022 while he was at a Madrid nightclub. It is unclear when the alleged infidelity took place. The two had been together since 2016 and got engaged in December.
Lletget addressed the allegations in a lengthy Instagram statement.
“As an athlete, I’ve always tried to hold myself to a higher level and recognize the blessings and privileges of my career. As I reflect on the last 7 years of my life, I know in my heart that I could not have accomplished much in my personal and professional growth, let alone the challenges in my life, without the love and support of Becky by my side to master,” began his statement.

“But behind this abundance there is a reality that I have hidden from everyone around me. I have struggled with personal trauma and acute anxiety compounded by my own denial, pride, and poor choices
“In recent weeks, at a moment I deeply regret, a 10-minute miscarriage of justice led to a blackmail scheme. Since that person didn’t get what they wanted, it has now become a public social media spectacle full of lies, truth and false posts targeting the love of my life, the one person I never take for granted or jeopardize should.
“While this anonymous internet stalker – who I’ve never met, contrary to what they claimed – had an ultimate goal that wasn’t clear, it was a wake-up call for me. The loudest alarm of my life. I can’t keep running from demons. I know that all the actions that brought us here should never have happened in the first place. Pushing the limits of limits that should never be crossed only hurts me and the people I love most.

“This past week of chaos and pain has forced me to face the consequences of my actions, my fears and my past mistakes. I entered therapy half-heartedly, knowing that I have deep-rooted anger and mental health issues that require the same commitment and treatment that I dedicate to my physical well-being. If I want to be the man I want to be, I have to do better. I have decided to commit to a mental wellness program to work on the parts of me that deeply need healing…”
Lletget apologized to Becky G and the FC Dallas fans.
“For Becky, you were the light in my life, my strength, which has always shown me unconditional love,” he added. “Instead of honoring that love every day, I did the opposite, hurt you and disrespected the one person I love more than anything. I’m so sorry and I know I must do whatever it takes to regain trust and deserve to love you.”
Becky G has not responded to Lletget’s statement. She still has pictures of Lletget on her Instagram.
